Yep. I use a razor blade all the time. I have cut a few side cuttings off before with scissors or my finer nails and hey rooted fine. But I would Never do that to a Top And I've only done it once or twice when I left my razor sit somewhere and can't find it and got too inpatient. So I snagged it off But those grew too. But I do see how much longer they take to clone. So I do also agree. ALWAYS. ALWAYS use a sharp razor type blade. If you can't find anything. Most houses have a Pear Knife or something with a straight smooth blade. DO NOT USE SERRATED BLADES.
AND THANKS to everyone that has been posting and being respectful and kind. I want tips and advice posted. If it's something I didn't know already than great. Ya learn something everyday. But I really want it posted to help people. This is why I wanted to start a few forums. One. Cus most newbies don't want to be "the new grower". They feel like your better than them and they sometimes will lie and say they are more experienced than they are. I've gotten accused of this. But mine is because I stopped for a few years and I'm just starting to get back into it. I remember most basics. But sometimes I have to read or post on here to get advice cause I'm not good at troubleshooting. And even tho I got better. I was never good at troubleshooting. But I've had some darn good plants. "
